Through a program called Project REACH (Relating, Exchanging and Capacity Building for HIV Prevention), the RICPG offers
technical assistance and training on HIV prevention to community-based organizations serving high-risk populations. The initial direction of REACH was to build capacity in minority organizations such that
they could be competitive in their efforts to write and receive grants, as well as to effectively deliver programs. Today, REACH has broadened its mission to include
agencies both directly and indirectly associated with HIV prevention.
As a capacity building program which focuses on the comprehensive notion of
community development, REACH seeks to develop standards of HIV prevention with community partners. Since its inception in 1996, REACH has trained hundreds of
individuals and has consulted with numerous community based organizations within Rhode Island.
Project REACH is managed by the DATA of Rhode Island, a well-known training
organization that has been providing quality professional trainings since 1991. DATA is committed to providing training and technical assistance to help prepare those
new to the field as well as to challenge the seasoned practitioner. Project REACH trainings are designed to meet the diverse needs of the prevention community,
treatment providers, and supervisors and managers in the field of HIV prevention and beyond.
